how do you remove the factory door handles. i got new ones to replace them with just dont know how to take the old handle out

thanks

 

Try PM'ing n2htwlz over in the Desert and Salt forum...He just changed his out with chrome ones...

 

ok thanks

 

UR welcome

 

Who makes chrome "interior" handles?

 

pics!

 

I will send this thread link to n2htwlz's PM and see if he will post some pics...They look AWESOME!

 

I used the door handles from a Toyota Echo. The silver ones are the same color as the slver parts in the interior of the xb. These are redily available from toyota. I installed the chrome handles from the echo which are more scarce ad the left side are on national back order now. I like the look of both but love the chrome and its factory.

Removing them is so simple, remove the door panel and the handles just snap out of the holes in the door, then undo the cable for the latch and reinstall the new ones. Takes all of maybe 5 mnutes.

the silver looks great, I just might have to do that

 

The silver looks perfect if your intrior parts are still factory silver. I realy like them, and its sort of a stealth mod becausre not everyone would know its different unless they realy know the xb...

 

That really nice, but i'm confused. Which handles are you rockin currently? Would you consider selling the extra set?

Any particular place you recommend looking for the handles?

 

^^^He's rockin the chrome ones now...They look awesome! If you haven't painted your interior pieces, then the silver ones match perfectly...

 

I have the chrome on now. You can order them from toyota dealers, its from an echo.

 

do you have a part number for either (preferably both)? I just called my local dealer, and got the run-around.

 

Yea I wanna order some chrome ones... what's the part #?

Thanks.

 

Can you take off the silver part? Except in the stock ones that way you can paint them? Or does the whole little thing come off?

 

Wow those do look nice. hmmm. too bad I'm trying to sell my box

 

The silver part is removable but may be dificult to get back in, but it can be done.

I will post the part numbers later today.

 

thanks!
